Chapter 234

• “Ford was never the true crown prince.” The king said. His shaky hand reached out to point to a scroll next to the bed. Lucas didn’t move an inch. “When you were born, I had it written in my will that you would take the crown when I died. I wanted the son of my first mate to be the ruler of this kingdom, as it was always meant to be.”
• “I… don’t understand. You had Ford paraded around as the crown prince since we were children.”
• “When your mother passed, I saw her in you. It was hard for me to be around you and I knew that you would have to be everywhere I was if I had you study to be the king. But I knew… I knew since you were a child that you were the one that was meant to be where your brother was. I saw it in every decision you made.”
